Some ministers may hold multiple portfolios and lead several ministries simultaneously. In contrast, a cabinet minister that is not in charge of a specific ministry is often called a minister without portfolio or presidential adviser.

Deputy Minister

In many nations, country presidents also appoint deputy ministers to aid in the duties of a particular Ministry. Most commonly, deputy ministers are appointed to the "Big Three" ministries: Foreign Affairs, Defence, and Finance (Economics).
